Reading ABCs of Murmuration is far from a passive experience. Robin and Kathy guide you on a journey that helps you remember that you are a precious and unique drop of water in an infinite ocean, surrounded by countless other drops-each seemingly different from you, yet equally precious and unique. Then, you discover that you are also each of those other drops and, ultimately, that you are the entire ocean itself. When you realize this, everything in your life transforms, including how you approach your health. As a single, isolated drop, resolving a health challenge may feel overwhelming. But when you remember that you are also the ocean, possibilities and solutions expand exponentially. -Duccio Locati, PSYCH-K Director

I am an engineer by profession, training, and experience. Success hinges on the three P's: people, process, and place. In this book, ABCs of Murmuration, the authors powerfully illustrate that individuals, teams, and communities depend on individual MEs' inspiration, creation, ability, and motivation to design or build anything. ME (people) must have their internal mind, body, and spirit (process) aligned if any of their work is to be successful (place). My tenure as Dean of Engineering at four universities has reinforced my conviction that it is the singular brilliance of individuals (ME), moving to the supportive strength of the team (WE), and finally to the collective wisdom and spirit of community (US), that is the heart of the principles explored in this book. -Joe Rencis, AD. School of Engineering and Professor, College of Aviation Worldwide

Based on decades of experience and research, the authors outline fresh ideas for thinking about human connections and collaborations. Their research focuses on engaging and practical tools in their lessons on human murmuration, using an analogy that we cannot exist in isolation. As a Native American, my ancestors respected the wisdom of nature. This book reinforced my understanding of how ME connects to WE and, finally, to US, just like the starlings. The chapters are applicable to an individual, a team, or an organization. The authors expand on ME, WE, and US and describe what can be achieved when we exceed personal goals and embrace the collective knowledge of workplaces or entire communities.-Kay Martin, Executive Emeritus

During my 20-year presidency at Rio Salado College, Dr. Kathy Hagler guided the institution's transformation from a "college of second choice" to one that astonished its students and employees by creating a culture of innovation and caring. Kathy constantly expands her skill set, enabling her to share fresh and energizing concepts and tools. Today, Kathy continues to lead and inspire through her study of starlings, translating their instinctual behavior into practical steps for individuals, teams, and organizations to follow on their journey from ME to WE to US. In today's world of discord and divisiveness, it is refreshing and encouraging to take lessons from nature that demonstrate that harmony is achievable not only for oneself but also for your collaborative partners and the community as a whole. -Dr. Linda M. Thor, President Emeritus of Rio Salado College
